Impending ???? Don't you mean actual ? <G,D&R>
[If you ever decide you've got too many adventurers, I'm always interested
in Johnny or the other fig in 5919/5928/other sets...And the new guys head
in Dino's looks good, too [bottom right on teaser catalogue scan [1]] I've
got some spare castle and starwars if you're interested (unfortunately, it's
all smallish sets, though, and not all that many of them.)]
